German Keyboard arrow key problems

Can anybody make my arrow-keys work? I have a german 102-key Keyboard (that's what win95 says) When i press the up-key i expect that what i typed before appears again beside the prompt. Instead

appears when the arrow-keys are pressed. I already read http://www.**-**.com/ but i gave up thinking that german symbols will work in FreeBSD, but the arrow-keys should. I also could imagine that i don't (or forgot) have a 'keyboard-daemon' installed that caches the keystrokes. I could also imagine that i didn't quite understand what /stand/sysinstall -> -> Do post-install configuratio of FreeBSD -> -> Customize system console behavior -> -> Font, Keymap, Screenmap does exactly.
